12:03pm

minutes ago a happy ending for the amber alert in the south bay involving a baby. live coverage on this developing story. good afternoon, i'm tori campbell. we begin with new developments in the amber alert issued for a little girl just a few days shy of her first birthday. she was in her mother's car when it was stolen early this morning. we have exclusive video live from san mateo. good afternoon, janine. >> reporter: good afternoon. we understand the baby girl hasn't yet been reunited but it's hopefully going to be happening soon. police officers told us the baby girl was alone in the stolen jeep and she was crying. there's a live picture of the police activity on amergosa court off buckeye drive. it appears to be an apartment complex. you can't actually see the white stolen jeep from where we're standing, it's around the corner but this is in the area

12:04pm

of near capital expressway and center road. let's go to earlier video from chopper 2 where you can see the little girl in the arms of police. now, that little girl is 11-month-old gabriella quintero, taken in an ambulance to get checked at a nearby hospital to make sure he's ok. police have been receiving tips ever since the chp issued a statewide amber alert they were looking for a white 2006 jeep liberty stolen at 6:40 this morning from a home on amador court. the thersaid she loaded the baby in the car, was going back and forth getting ready for work. came back out and the baby and jeep was gone. police had been searching throughout the city getting multiple tips and a tip led them to this address. somebody had spotted the car wh they got here the actual car thief was not here. they had apparently dumped the car, this is what police told us moments ago about this. >> just because we found the

12:05pm

baby and the vehicle doesn't mean that we just pack up and go home now. the investigation is still in full sweep. we want to know who took the car and their motivation. so the car is a huge piece of evidence. we'll call the investigative unit out to process the vehicle for evidence and fingerprints and so forth. that car will likely be impounded. >> reporter: the mother of gabriella told police earlier that she's seen a female in her mid-30s standing outside her home holding a shopping target bag. she didn't recognize her. she thought maybe that was the woman who got into her car and stole it but at this point police don't know if that is actually the suspect. as you heard they are gathering evidence here at the scene and they are hoping it leads them to whoever is responsible for kidnapping this girl and stealing the car. at this point they don't know if it was an intentional kidnapping or if the person was just after a stolen car. we hope to get an update from police and if we do we will give it to you live in this

12:06pm

show. reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. police continue to investigate a deadly stabbing, it happened friday afternoon on north first street not far from the santa clara jail. police are looking for this man, 25-year-old juan ramirez. he is accused of killing his former girlfriend, 29-year-old sandra cruz gonzalez. investigators say ramirez may be driving a dark green 1996 toyota t-100 pickup similar to this one and may be headed to mexico. this noontime both sides of the prop 8 debate are gearing up for a big week. starting tomorrow the u.s. supreme court will hear two cases about gay marriage and both could have huge impacts for the state and country. brian flores is in the newsroom. how are people preparing for the hearing? >> reporter: no question this is a big week for both sides but starting tomorrow the u.s. supreme court is set to hear on proposition 8 and on

12:07pm

wednesday the court will hear oral arguments on the defense of marriage act. several groups will be holding rallies leading up to tomorrow. tonight, for example, same-sex marriage supporters are holding a rally and march starting 6:30 p.m. at castro and market streets. meantime, in washington, dc people have been camped out in front of the supreme court building since thursday. they are lined up in hopes of getting one of the 250 seats set aside for the public. the justices are not expected to rule on either case until june but one law expert we spoke with says recent public opinion and polling that favors gay marriage could have weight with the justices. she also believes the justices may come to a compromise, even portions of doma may be struck down. >> i think it will be appealing for conservatives on the court because it's a question of the federal government coming in to legislate in an area that has been traditionally reserved for the states making marriage law. i think it's a very conservative argument that will appeal to more conservative members of the court. then the liberal members of the court will be excited about being able to sort of affirm a

12:08pm

commitment to progressive values like same-sex marriage. >> reporter: here's a breakdown of what may happen in the next few days. if the court strikes down prop 8 as a violation of constitutional rights same-sex marriage would become legal nationwide. or the cot can support prop 8, that means the state can decide whether or not to legalize same marriage. the supporters could be found to lack standing. some legal experts think the lower court rulings would stand if that were the case. a berkeley couple will also attend the hearing. they've been together for 13 years and raised four boys. they say they want the same benefits as heterosexual couples do. the heritage foundation said they hope at least the law in california stands. currently nine states and district of columbia allow same-sex couples to marry. 29 states banned it outright. brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> david stevenson will be at the supreme court for

12:09pm

tomorrow's oral arguments and he'll have live reports throughout the day. join us for a news special at 6:30 when we go in depth on the prop 8 case. we'll break down the arguments and gauge reaction from washington, dc to the bay area but a decision is probably not expected in this case until mid-june. meanwhile, the u.s. supreme court today is set to hear a case filed by federal regulators which could affect the cost of prescription medicine. the government is asking the high court to stop big pharmaceutical corporations from paying other drug companies to delay releasing cheaper generic drugs. regulators argue those deals deny american consumers price reductions on their medication of about 90%. pharmaceutical companies say the deals protect the billions of dollars they spend developing new drugs. the supreme court is also broadening its examination of a case that could end the practice of race-based affirmative action in education. the justices heard arguments over a michigan effort to ban

12:10pm

conversation of race in college admissions. the court is already considering a 2008 challenge to the university of texas affirmative action program. the court today said it would combine the michigan and texas cases. a ribbon-cutting ceremony got underway about an hour ago for the opening of the long awaited new twin tunnels bipatsing the problem-prone highway at devil slide. alex joins us live from san mateo county where residents there have been waiting decades for the new tunnels. >> reporter: one of the speakers today called this one of california's newest landmarks. you can see behind me here this is one of the two brand new tunnels that will take drivers around that notorious section called devil's slide. this event is still going on. the ribbon-cutting hasn't taken place yet but the tunnels will soon be officially untunnel is california's latest golden gate bridge. it's the transportation improvement that nearly

12:11pm

everyone said couldn't be done! >> reporter: that's congresscom spear talking today at today's ceremony. it's been a long time coming for lawmakers that pushed the project through and for the people of the coastal communities, half-moon bay to pacifica. who put up with years of crashes and closures along this stretch of highway 1. . drivers can now avoid the section of highway 1 where there have been mudslides and rockslides over the years. it took eight years to complete, a cost of just over $400 million. the late congressman tom lantos secured funding and the tunnels are named in his honor. his widow said he's smiling down today. >> it's everything he envisioned it to be. we are very proud and we are

12:12pm

very proud of those who worked so hard to make this a reality. >> reporter: this is the first new tunnel to be constructed in california in 50 years. the old section of highway 1 at devil's slide will be turned into a path for walking and biking so it will be put to good use. as we bring you back to a live picture you can see a line of vintage cars all waiting to drive through the new tunnels. they will be doing that shortly, as soon as the ribbon is cut. these will be the first cars to drive through the tunnel including this one here. this beautiful car from 1913, one of the first cars to drive through. that will happen shortly. the tunnel should be open to the public -- should be able to drive through the new tunnels, we're hoping by tomorrow morning's commute. that's the hope from caltrans. alex savage, ktvu channel 2 news. the golden gate bridge bridge district is days from ending its human toll collection and activating its all electronic toll-taking system. a new sign went up this

12:18pm

before we were notified, she was at the table holding a rosary talking to detectives, obviously in pain and suffering but this is obviously really, really good news. as we can all imagine mom is hopefully now being able to hold her child again and of course resting at ease now. >> we know this little girl, 11-month-old gabriella had been missing since 6:42 in the morning. it appears somebody stole the mother's jeep while she loaded the little girl in the car. what is going on? is there still a search for the woman? or man? do we know if it's a woman because we had originally heard the suspect might have been a woman. >> right now we're going off the assumption we originally put off it was a female in her 30s, hispanic or white female. officers are currently -- we have our crime scene technicians from our crime scene unit here currently. they just arrived on scene. they will be processing the vehicle for any evidentiary value we may be able to locate fingerprints and such from the vehicle. we are also conducting a van cast of this -- canvas of

12:19pm

this whole neighborhood to determine if there are witness that's may have seen the vehicle come in or out of the area or if anyone has seen the vehicle occupied. you are correct, the person did report it, called it into the police department. we immediately confirmed it was the vehicle we were looking for. he did describe there was a baby in the back seat that was crying. again, officers got here very quickly, we were able to confirm the vehicle, get the child into a medical vehicle and then on her way to the hospital to get checked out medically. >> albert morales with the san jose police department, thank you. you heard, seems that police will be here at the scene for several hours surrounding that jeep. you can't see it, it's around the corner from where i'm standing. it's out of view but we'll have much more on this story coming up on the later newscast at 5:00 and 6:00. live from san jose, janine de la vega, channel 2 news. breaking news from contra costa county where the highway patrol is investigating a deadly crash.

12:23pm

about january, with the strong system going into the rockies, northern plains, east, we get these weak systems and that is what we have today. hard-pressed to get rain from it. maybe the end of the week but i'm not even sold on that so partly sunny today, high clouds and patchy fog, you have to be far inland, filtered sun. 60s on the temperatures or very low 70s. just too much in the way of cloud cover. that west wind also decided to fire up. so 60s for many or even just 50s on the coast. a far cry from the weekend where temperatures were above average. they are sliding to near average to below today. partly sunny and partly cloudy tuesday into wednesday. another system approaches late thursday/friday. i put some possibility, my gut feeling is it's going to visit southern california. >> oh, really? >> we can't really get a break on rain. >> thank you. school kids in arinda hula hoop their way into the guinness book of world records this morning.
